The European Union calls on the Turkish regime to reverse its decisions regarding the Varosha region

Brussels (ST): The European Union called on the Turkish regime to reverse all its unilateral decisions regarding the Cypriot region of Varosha since last October.

The Italian Aki news agency quoted the EU’s High Representative for Security and Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, as saying in a statement issued on behalf of the member states that “the EU condemns and rejects all the unilateral steps announced by Turkey on July 20 regarding the reopening of the closed Varosha area on the island of Cyprus.”

The statement affirmed the Union’s adherence to the UN Security Council resolutions related to this region and considering any settlement of the situation of this region without its residents as unacceptable, noting that the Europeans hold the Turkish regime fully responsible for what is happening in the Varosha region and demand Ankara to lift all restrictions imposed on the movement of UN peacekeeping forces in that region.

The statement stressed the need for the Turkish regime to refrain from any unilateral and provocative measure that would obstruct the settlement of the status of the island of Cyprus, divided since 1974 under the umbrella of the United Nations and in accordance with its resolutions.
